Quantum Nernst effect

It is theoretically predicted that the Nernst coefficient is strongly suppressed and the thermal conductance is quantized in the quantum Hall regime of the two-dimensional electron gas. The Nernst effect is the induction of a thermomagnetic electromotive force in the y-direction under a temperature bias in the x-direction and a magnetic field in the z-direction. The quantum nature of the Nernst effect is analyzed with the use of a circulating edge current and is demonstrated numerically. The present system is a physical realization of the non-equilibrium steady state.     

A fluid system with coupled input and output,and its application to bottlenecks in ad hoc networks

This paper studies a fluid queue with coupled input and output. Flows arrive according to a Poisson process, and when n flows are present, each of them transmits traffic into the queue at a rate c/(n+1), where the remaining c/(n+1) is used to serve the queue. We assume exponentially distributed flow sizes, so that the queue under consideration can be regarded as a system with Markov fluid input. The rationale behind studying this queue lies in ad hoc networks: bottleneck links have roughly this type of sharing policy. We consider four performance metrics: (i) the stationary workload of the queue, (ii) the queueing delay, i.e., the delay of a ‘packet’ (a fluid particle) that arrives at the queue at an arbitrary point in time, (iii) the flow transfer delay, i.e., the time elapsed between arrival of a flow and the epoch that all its traffic has been put into the queue, and (iv) the sojourn time, i.e., the flow transfer time increased by the time it takes before the last fluid particle of the flow is served. For each of these random variables we compute the Laplace transform. The corresponding tail probabilities decay exponentially, as is shown by a large-deviations analysis. F. Roijers’ work has been carried out partly in the SENTER-NOVEM funded project Easy Wireless.     

Modulation of Spin Distribution and Spin Transport by a Magnetic Field in a Quasi-One-Dimensional System with Spin--Orbit Coupling

The distributions of spin and currents modulated by magnetic field in a transverse parabolic confined two-dimensional electronic system with a Rashba spin--orbit coupling have been studied numerically. It is shown that the spin accumulation and the spin related current are generated by magnetic field if the spin--orbit coupling is presented. The distributions of charge and spin currents are antisymmetrical along the cross-section of confined system. A transversely applied electric field does not influence the characteristic behaviour of charge- and spin-dependent properties.     

The effect of Fe and Ru substitution on the superconductivity in MgCNi3

We report the effects of partial substitutions of the VIIIa elements: Fe (3d) and Ru (4d) in the intermetallic perovskite superconductor MgCNi₃. In both the MgCNi_3−xRu_x and MgCNi_3−xFe_x systems, the superconducting critical temperature (T_C) decreases monotonically as x is increased. T_C decreases more slowly in the case of Ru, suggesting that the 3d electrons in Fe are magnetically pair breaking. This is supported by the normal state magnetic susceptibility measurements (χ), which shows that χ increases with Fe and decreases with Ru doping. No ferromagnetism is observed in either system.     

1/d corrections for interacting spinless fermions: One-particle properties

One-particle properties of the spinless fermion model with repulsion at half filling are calculated within an approach correct to first order in the inverse of the lattice dimensiond. Continuity of the limitd requires a scaling of the nearest-neighbour hopping proportional to and of the nearest-neighbour interaction proportional to 1/d. Due to this scaling the Hartree approximation becomes exact in infinite dimensions. We show that 1/d corrections comprise the Fock diagram and the local correlation diagram in the self-consistent Dyson equation. This approach is applied to simple-cubic systems in dimensiond=1, 2 and 3. Ground state properties and the charge-density wave phase diagram are calculated. AtT=0 the inclusion of 1/d terms gives only small corrections to the leading Hartree contribution ind=2, 3. ForT>0, however, the 1/d corrections are important. They lead to a non-negligible reduction of the critical temperature. Ind=1 the 1/d corrections are very large, but they do not succeed in removing the spurious phase transition atT>0. The 1/d approach provides a good and tractable approximation ind=3 and probably ind=2, which allows also further systematic improvement.

Ad Hoc网络中基于模拟退火-蚁群算法的QoS路由发现方法

针对Ad Hoc网络的动态网络环境和链路、节点性能限制等不利因素，提出了一种新的QoS路由发现方法——SAANT．该方法利用蚁群算法增加了发现可用QoS路由的概率，利用基于概率的路由转发策略来减少洪泛造成的网络开销，从而强化所提算法的全局搜索能力和自适应性，减小了洪泛对Ad Hoc网络性能的影响．所提方法还利用模拟退火算法调整路由发现算法的搜索方向，以弥补蚂蚁算法收敛速度上的弱点，减少了搜索过程中的停滞现象．在包投递成功率、平均包延迟和吞吐量等方面，通过仿真实验对SAANT、仅基于蚁群算法的QoS路由算法和传统的按需路由算法的方法进行了性能比较，结果表明，在Ad Hoc网络环境下，SAANT的收敛速度、移动性能和网络负载性能均表现出更好的适应性．
